If you do not return as Miroku, you will be sorely missed! D:

As for myself... I haven't completely decided who I will be doing this year, but most likely choices are Mai from Mai Hime (my friend will be Natsuki, if everything goes according to plan) and Touka or Karurauatsurei from Utawarerumono, depending if I can find a good purple wig... We also wanted to do a Princess Tutu cosplay, but that might have to wait until next year. Another future character that I will be cosplaying as is Tabby from .hack//Roots, but her costume might also take another year to complete. Sometimes I wish I could be paid to cosplay, so I would have all the time in the world to make my costumes XD

I know what you mean about being paid for cosplaying. Would make life simpler.

I know Val would be very excited to see a princess Tutu cosplay. She is totally in love with that series. But if it is waiting for next yer then so be it. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

I haven't been able to choose between Road Kamelot from D. Gray-man, Cooro from +Anima, Lust from FMA (haven't worn yet), or a Silent Hill nurse (haven't worn yet). XD

Any suggestions?

SILENT HILL NURSE! Oh my god, if you go as that you will have a small group of stalkers! My friends and I loveeee the nurses and wanted to cosplay as them but didn't have the chance to make costumes... >.< If you go as a Silent Hill nurse expect a fangirl Ritsuka and Seras to be asking for photos! X3

In a surprising twist, completely ignoring the possibilities earlier posted, it seems I'll be bringing a Negi costume, from Negima. It seems to be a manga only costume, though, heh... I haven't seen the show, and only read three volumes of the manga, but hey, whatever.

My aunt is also planning to come (all the way from Germany, no less!), and she is planning to cosplay as Milly Thompson from Trigun. She might also do other characters, but the details haven't been decided.

And on that note... what is Bakuretsu Con's prop weapons policy? I'm looking forward to making a gigantic gun and an even bigger sword, and I want to make sure that I won't have to give them up... I know that Otakon has pretty strict regulations when it comes to height and moving parts, but I've never heard anything from Bakuretsu Con...

Well, it depends, really.

I have seen a gigantic gun at Anime Boston 2006, almost bigger than the person who made it. As long as you do not swing the sword and/or brandish it out at anyone, then I suppose you should be fine. You can take it out and pose for the camera with it, but do not handle it careless around other folks. No one wants to be hit by gigantic objects. And of course, the common sense of making said weapons out of non-dangerous material.

Don't take this as a true answer. My own speculations of my own Convention as well as a Security Staffer's experiences.

Question: Does Bakuretsu Con have some sort of peacebonding procedure, like Anime Boston's, in which we deem what weapons can be carried around and what cannot?

From what I have randomly heard, I think that Jen (Team1Up) is the Head of Security? No idea. That's what she has told me (They must be lies! All of them!). If true, then she's at Another Anime Con right now and will try to answer the question as soon as she gets back. If not, then there's always Valerie. [/i]
